The challenges You take on for Yourself follow Your rules, which You can change at any time.

Like working ahead on “daily” magazine collages. 👍

I’ve tried doing daily drawing challenges but I just can’t seem to stick with it, even though drawing is my strongest suit.

I do manage to do something artistic everyday, I just don’t post everything.

This was very encouraging to hear, thank you.

🫂 It wasn’t until I got small (the 4” x 4” sketchbook) that I’ve kept up with daily drawings.

And I know/find out with some things that I like the end result and process more if I spend a block of time on it, then ignore it for 1-2 days. That’s what I discovered with the magazine collages- having a 2 hour binge session was more fun and interesting because I got to know the images and when I had an idea, I could find the page/segment o wanted to better realize what was in my head. With the half hour daily sessions, I liked what I created, but it felt fragmented and isolated and I kept looking at the same pages and forgetting what I wanted from them.

Being an artist is this weird juggling act of discipline and fuck it I’m doing something different now. 🤷
